    Default Help!!! Plotting Problem

    I am having a problem plotting the title sheet which is in Paper Space in several drawings. I use Building Systems 2006 with Windows XP. I have checked to make sure no layers are off and that no layers are set to no-plot and that the title sheet is not on defpoints or other no plot layers.

    The odd thing is that when I unload the Xref, which is defined in layer 0 and inserted on layer XREF, the title sheet will plot. If I delete the viewport, it also will plot. I have redefined the viewport to insure that it does not encompass part of the border or title block, although that SHOULD not cause a problem.

    Anyone have any ideas? I am sure it must be some setting.

    Hi tbird,

    Are you using the project navigator? (PN) I have had some weird things happen in PN when I used drag and drop for title blocks instead of creating a new sheet drawing.

    Hope this helps,

    Some see the glass as half full, others as half empty. As an engineer I see the glass as twice as big as it needs to be. ~Unknown~

    I have attempted this with Project Navigator as well as just inserting the block in Paper Space. I have even inserted the Title block sheet in model space and always get the same result.

    Is there any way you can post an example drawing so that we can take a look?

    I would be happy to send it to you. I'm not sure there is a way to post a drawing on this website.

    At the suggestion of someone on another forum, I preformed an audit on the drawings and the problem was fixed. Thanks for your interest and help.
